Fresh salsa is a bright and aromatic dish from Mexican cuisine that adds zest to any table. Its roots go back to ancient times when the Aztecs mixed crushed vegetables and spices to create this rich flavor. Fresh salsa harmoniously combines juicy tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, and red onions seasoned with cilantro, paprika, and lemon juice. This combination offers freshness, a slight tanginess, and pleasant spiciness. It can be served as a dip for corn chips, used as a sauce for meat or fish, or added to tacos. Thanks to its natural ingredients, salsa is not only tasty but also healthy. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate light and rich flavors.
